I read the first book in the Left Behind series and thought the storyline was interesting. Someone bought it for me as a gift, but I just couldn't see paying out $16.99 X 10 more books or so, to finish the series. I thought the first book was ok, but I didn't like it that much.

are the books about bowling or something?

Not in the slightest. It's a religious book, which is something the person who bought it for me didn't tell me ahead of time.

OK, get this... I read the first 3 or 4 books, i don't know which; but, here's the story.

I'm catholic. In fact, you could call me a "barely practicing" catholic. OK, scratch all that, I'm agnostic. So you can imagine my predicament in college when I started dating this smokin' Baptist chick. It was crazy. I pretended I was semi-religious at least, but she kept telling me I was going to hell just for being Catholic. Seriously, she made it her personal mission to have me "accept Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior." Or whatever. Anyway, I kind of went along with it because I thought I could get her to put out... she wouldn't, but let me tell you, she made it worth my while enough that I was willing to stick it out. I figured I could go all the way with her, but then i was afraid she's insist we get married so make up for our sins or some sh--.... anyway. I started reading this Left Behind series to get a better idea of where her crazy Baptist-ism was coming from.

OK, so long story short... it came down to me choosing between being a Baptist like her or the highway. I picked the highway... almost specifically because I thought the left behind books were trash. And because she still wouldn't put out.

But the 6 months of Baptist BJ's made it ALLLLL worth it.

Lol great story near the end of it you should've tried some desperation act like if she puts out you'll convert to a baptist and THEN hit the highway.

You shoulda said "Hey even priests are having sex these days its cool baby"

Well, if we're going to base our concern on the Mayan's calendar, which is based in mythology, why would we take that as more believable than the Christian mythology, in which God tells us that the descendants of Jacob will number more than the grains of sand on the seashore.

It depends entirely on which one you think is true of course, but if you give credance to the Bible, I don't think we've had enough generations since Jacob to outnumber grains of sand on the seashore.

So we probably have a little time left.
